(ii) glued limbs, weapons and accessories that have been separated or broken over time. (iii) reproduction weapons or accessories, (iv) mismatched or incorrect figure, weapon and accessory combinations, and/or (v) non-complete items.  Some of these defects, however, may be fixable, in which case we will work with you to get them fixed consistent with our Second Chance Refusal Policy.
 
Carded Category: Collector Archive Services will not accept (i) restored items that used permanent ink to cover creases, chips, sticker tears, etc., (ii) glue used to reseal blisters, restore proof of purchases, etc., or (iii) items with blister holes or cracks large enough to allow a figure, weapons, or accessories to be removed.

*Uncirculated Category: The package must be factory sealed. If any item arrives opened, re-sealed, double-taped where the first layer of tape is cut beneath the second layer, or in any way the factory seal looks tampered with will constitute an uncirculated designation refusal and will be considered for the “qualified category.” CAS WILL NOT OPEN AND/OR DESIGNATE AS “UNCIRCULATED” CARDED ACTION FIGURES OR DIE CAST VEHICLES, OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR COLLECTIBLE ON A CARD WITH A PLASTIC BUBBLE; BOXED STORE-SHELF ITEMS; OR FACTORY SEALED BAGGIE FIGURES.
